The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) vs Juice Robinson & The Gunns (Austin & Colten) (w/ Jay White)
The referee stopped Juice Robinson from using a chair and Juice punched him and knocked him out before the bell rang. Takeshita and Jay White joined Juice Robinson and The Gunns in beating up the Elite. FTR came to The Buck’s aid.
Backstage, MJF said it’s incredible to think of all the stars that have headlined and paved the way for him, and now he is going to headline in front of the biggest crowd in history.
Jon Moxley vs Rey Fenix (w/ Alex Abrahantes)
Fenix hit Moxley with a Superkick. Moxley gave Fenix the Avalanche Death Rider for near fall and then locked in the Sleeper for the win. After the match, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta jumped Fenix. Eddie Kingston and Penta tried to come down for the save, but Ortiz was brandishing a loaded sock. Santana returned and helped Ortiz jump Kingston and Penta. Wheeler Yuta hit Fenix in the head with a crowbar. The Best Friends came out and The BCC left the ring with Santana and Ortiz by their side as Fenix got carted out on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance.
===Winner: Jon Moxley
Earlier today, Sammy Guevera told Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, and Daniel Garcia that he sided with Chris Jericho last week out of friendship. He’s known him since day one coming to Dynamite. Yes, they’ve had their ups and downs and he doesn’t agree with everything he does, but he told him he would always have his back and he meant that.
Chris Jericho – Will Ospreay contract signing
Ospreay came to the ring with Don Callis. Jericho came to the ring with Sammy Guevera. Callis told Jericho the only thing better than having him in the Don Callis family was to play a part in ending his career. I offered Ospreay your head on a platter. I threw away 34 years of friendship. I chose money and power over our friendship. I chose writing history rather than watching it and I chose Ospreay over you. A couple years ago you almost died in England and this Sunday, I’m going to be in Ospreay’s corner to make sure that job gets done. A pull-a-part occurred between Jericho and Ospreay.
Backstage, Adam Cole said when he returned to AEW, his confidence was at an all-time low, but MJF helped him find the real Adam Cole and he will love him forever for that. He insisted there are no issues between him and MJF
Tornado Tag Team Match:
Nick Wayne & Darby Allin vs Swerve Strickland & AR Fox (w/ Prince Nana)
Strickland and Fox double teamed Wayne. Fox missed a 450 Splash of the turnbuckle. Wayne rolled him up and pinned him
===Winners: Nick Wayne & Darby Allin
Strickland said this is so disappointing, and by disappointing he means Fox. He told Fox this was a test for him. He couldn’t beat an 18-year child in Nick Wayne. Strickland said he can’t trust him at Wembley. Prince Nana fired him. Brian Cage came out and attacked Fox. Sting, Allin, and Wayne came out to save Fox. Allin told Fox he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t take him in when he was homeless and asked him to take his hand. He told him he loves him and they hugged. Allin asked Strickland who he has for Wembley. Brian Cage and Luchasaurus came out. Cage said the greats stay two steps ahead. He told Wayne he’s never heard of his dead father, so he must not have been great. He’s going to see the coffin be closed on another person he loves at Wembley. Every fatherless child needs a mentor and there’s no better mentor than the TNT Champion.
Backstage, The Young Bucks thanked FTR for coming to their aid the last two weeks. FTR told them they don’t need to thank them. It’s not because they are pals. They need to know which team is better. Nick Jackson said they don’t need to win the match. FTR needs to win the match to prove their legacy.
Ruby Soho vs Sky Blue
Blue gave Soho the Sky Fall for a near fall. Sky gave Soho a kick, but Soho gave Blue the Destination Unknown and pinned her.
===Winner: Ruby Soho
Backstage, Roderick Strong said at the end of the night at All In, we are going to find out who the real MJF is and who the real Adam Cole is.
A pre-tape aired showing the House of Black putting Billy Gunn’s boots in the trash compactor and said Rest in Pain.
In the ring, The Acclaimed challenged The House of Black to come to the ring. The House of Black got in the ring and brawled with each other. Billy Gunn came down and The House of Black left the ring. Billy told The House of Black that after he got beat twice, he had to do the hardest two things he had to do in his life which was he walked out on Max and Anthony, and he left behind a really good career. Then he jumped Max and Anthony. Then he took his boots and tried to tear down his legacy that he worked 32 years to build. He’s a Hall of Famer and they pissed on it. So for one more time, he will be at Wembley Stadium and he will take everything from them because it will be The Acclaimed and Bad Ass Billy Gunn will go against The House of Black.
ROH World Tag Team Championship Match
The Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) vs The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy)
The Hardys had Davis set up for a suplex off the top turnbuckle, but Fletcher broke it up. Davis picked up Jeff and Fletcher kneed him in the jaw. They gave Jeff the Aussie Arrow and pinned him.
===Winners: Aussie Open
After the match, Fletcher said there will be no clothesline or kangaroo kick at Wembley and they will retain their titles. MJF and Adam Cole got in the ring and brawled with The Aussie Open. MJF held Fletcher. Cole went to kick Fletcher. Fletcher moved and MJF caught Cole’s kick from connecting on him. MJF and Cole had a face to face. MJF picked up his belt and raised it in the air. Cole stretched out his hand for MJF to shake it, but MJF bumped by him to leave the ring. MJF stopped, took off his diamond ring, but then put it in his pocket and they hugged it out.
